Premium Escalade EXT Pickup Might Come Back

By Peter Fowler24 Feb 2016

Cadillac has decided to release the new 2017 Cadillac EXT, which will be much larger in size and will significantly improve appearance and finish quality of the interior of the car, which will be a luxurious dream of any driver.

Possible Return of The EXT

The top Manager of this auto brand made this statement after the official premiere of new generation of SUV Cadillac Escalade. As stated by Vice-President of Cadillac Bob Ferguson – “There are a huge number of people for whom this car became a cult or something sublime. So, according to Bob, a variety of vehicles manufactured around the world, designed for different people with different tastes in life and different needs.”

The company does not reveal exact release dates of legendary model, but according to rumors, it is very likely that we will be able to see the pre-production model before the end of 2017, and on sale it will appear in 2018.

New Deisgn

Rumors that new 2017 Cadillac Escalade EXT will be based on a new modular platform, was not confirmed. The car remained frame that calmed the true fans of the American SUV.

New Cadillac EXT left in the style of American megalomania. Daring a generation ago, the new SUV is inferior to the previous models. Ambition and power has allowed this model to become one of the most profitable GM car.

Same Powertrain

The car will be powered by a new generation of V8 engine capacity of 6.2 liters and output of 420 HP (the last generation of 6.2-liter engine had a capacity of 402 HP).

Unfortunately, the new SUV will have an older gearbox. As in today’s Escalade, the new car will be equipped with 6-speed gearbox.

What’s Inside

It is worth noting a new interior trim, which automatically separated this car from Chevrolet Tahoe and other SUVs that share a platform with the Cadillac Escalade. So the company’s designers work by creating an expensive and chic interior, which is lined with expensive wood and high-quality suede leather.

Fuel Usage

The new 2017 Cadillac EXT to reduce the consumption of fuel used active grille that automatically regulate airflow, reducing aerodynamic drag.

The hood and trunk lid made of aluminum. But it was not the answer to reduce weight. Weight is still almost the same as the previous generation car, which is 5500 lbs. Detailed data about the fuel consumption, the company has not yet reported.

Magnetic Ride and Other Features

Improved the smoothness and softness of the suspension, which absorbs extraneous vibrations on the roughness (the problem of the current generation of cars).

There will be a new electric power steering. Also the new 2017 Cadillac Escalade EXT to get the MagneticRide system, which within seconds is able to change the shock absorbers stiffness depending on road conditions and vehicle speed. New extra safety system that includes front and rear touch radio and ultrasonic sensors that inform the system about the danger of a collision, automatically braking the car to avoid an accident at low speed.

Note that the current collision avoidance systems have already appeared on many cars in the world, which has become an irreplaceable assistant, especially in traffic, when the diversion of attention to a fraction of a second leads to a small accident. Also, the new car will be available adaptive cruise control and the system warning the driver about the danger of an accident.

I am looking forward in Purchase this this vehicle. I still have my 02 Cadillac Escalade Ext I am the only owner of this vehicle new i have Purchase in 2001The Price 58,000.

The ONLY way I will let go of my EXT is if Cadillac brings this model into production. The Escalade SUV version is just not practical (I NEED a truck) or sexy enough for me… 😉 Have already called my local sales rep Jabbar Nassiradeh and told him as soon as he hears word that they are available to call me!

Summary

Escalade pickup truck is a very niche product, and the possible 2017 car should be almost perfect to make EXT the best choice.

The upcoming 2018 Dodge Ram is expected to have quite a lot of changes. Starting with the updated design (facelift expected) to new powertrain options. There are also a few patents connected with new Ram truck registered, features very convenient solutions.

After a break of 21 years, Ford have decided to bring the Bronco back from the dead, and they’ve done it with a bang. The trick for the Ford designers is to take the classic styling cues from the original Bronco and incorporate them in to the new model – giving it a retro look with modern feel. Will they manage it successfully?

The new Navigator has gorgeous look, making it even more distant from same platform Expedition. The product car has recently revealed – it’s design is very similar to the concept car. With powerful 450 HP engine it is likely to have success in premium SUV market.

Back in 2011, Ford stopped production of the mid-size ranger pickup truck, at least in the U.S. Ever since then, Ranger fans have been waiting for Ford to announce a comeback for the model. For a while, it looked as though Ford were going to put the Ranger back in to production at their Mexico plant, but thanks to an agreement with the United Auto Workers trade union, they changed that to the Michigan plant.
